CIID 09/10: Physical Computing

Following our two weeks of Processing, we turned our attentions to the physical: prototyping with electronics, using the Arduino platform as a basis for our experimentation. From code, screens, and prints to objects, electricity, sensors.
CIID 09/10: Computational Design

I’ve fallen behind with my updates; doing has taken over from writing about what has been done. Nonetheless, a brief summary of the next course on our programme – I’ll try to catch up. “Exploring the manifold potential of software” is how this course on computational design, taught by Patrick and Dennis from Berlin based The Product, was described. In short, we were introduced to programming and code in a design context, and explored how this tool – new to some – could be applied to the context of design – new to others.
